That's the magic question in my book...
I was comparing to the language from the 2008 manual, where R11 reads:
"Prior to the beginning of the MATCH, the ROBOT shall be placed in a STARTING CONFIGURATION that fits within the dimensions listed below: (with the exact same chart as this year)"

It seems to me the language in that opening sentence this year may be more restrictive to what length and depth are, not just restricting the overall size of the robot during the match. Perhaps it's a good question for Q&A.
